The cognac of the shoes bookending your hair is great too as Angie points out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-friday-and-weekend/page/2#post-1810296 Tue, 23 May 2017 01:12:30 +0000 Brooklyn 1810296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Aquamarine! I can't tell you how much your comment thrills me. I love the fact that we get to share ideas on this forum, particularly when we are all in different parts of the world.</p> <p>Jenni, thanks. I hadn't actually noticed that matchy matchy aspect, but now that I do it pushes my buttons too!</p> <p>Sara, yes bare midriff at work is probably not a great idea. Fortunately I don't have to reach up often! Thanks for your comments.</p> <p>Dana, sorry about your pants &nbsp;My dog walking activities on the weekend are fairly social. I go to a dog park where lots of neighborhood people hang out, and we all end up chatting while the dogs play and sometimes we go for coffee. So I try to make a bit of an effort. But it's got to be practical too: I have to have comfy shoes and sun protection and the outfit has to be dirt resistant, because the puppy dogs will jump on you :)</p> <p>Thanks Joy. I have heard that about the coating coming off. I have a pair of full length flared jeans that are coated and they say hand wash only. I haven't worn them yet, but hand washing jeans is going to be a real pain. I probably shouldn't have kept them. The ones I am wearing in the pics are machine washable. Because I will treat them as dressy jeans (rather than dog walking jeans), I hopefully wont have to wash them too often, which should make them last longer. I hope so, because the coating is really lovely.&nbsp;</p> <p>And thanks Lisa and Janet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-friday-and-weekend#post-1810280 Mon, 22 May 2017 21:27:42 +0000 Aquamarine 1810280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All fab! I love seeing what you put together. I get so many ideas from your outfits. Thanks for sharing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-friday-and-weekend#post-1810263 Mon, 22 May 2017 20:03:32 +0000 Jenni NZ 1810263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All outfits look great! A touch I really like is how in pic 3 the lacing on the boots and the clutch match each other. Really pushes my buttons in a good way </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-friday-and-weekend#post-1810258 Mon, 22 May 2017 19:37:00 +0000 Sara L. 1810258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great collection of outfits! &nbsp;</p> <p>#2 - I would care too (and I picture the purple alien from Home with his hands in the air like he just doesn't care ) and the cami underneath is a good idea. &nbsp;I need to remember that this summer as I have a couple tops that slightly too short. &nbsp;</p> <p>I love your boots in #4. &nbsp;Somehow the mid-calf height makes the outfit feel a little bit tough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-friday-and-weekend#post-1810230 Mon, 22 May 2017 16:46:03 +0000 Dana 1810230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cute outfits! I like all the juxtaposition in #3. Kudos on the dog walking outfit--I never looked that cute walking my dog (in the suburbs.) In fact, I was walking a couple of weeks ago in my neighborhood and tripped on a raised sidewalk and ripped my nice, wide legged cropped pants (pretty new.) Back to casual! (Although, I'm sure I'll never fall again just walking.)&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-friday-and-weekend#post-1810226 Mon, 22 May 2017 16:25:33 +0000 Janet 1810226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic as always. I love the sweater in #3 and am glad you kept it. Really clever styling it the way you did! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-friday-and-weekend#post-1810213 Mon, 22 May 2017 14:50:06 +0000 Anonymous 1810213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't pick a favorite. All beautiful.<br /> I have had coated black jeans as well as a few other colors. They are great for cool/cold weather. I gently washed mine and the coating gradually wore off. They look ok without it but I miss the coating. Sometimes they say to dry clean but I don't know if that would affect the coating. My burgundy ones are Rich and Skinny and have held up the best. My black ones are Joes Skinnies. They say Do not Dry Clean but to hand wash, dry flat. ( I hang them in the laundry room to dry). They are not what they were but ok. I want to replace them because of their low rise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-friday-and-weekend#post-1810186 Mon, 22 May 2017 13:37:36 +0000 Lisa 1810186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great collection of looks. &nbsp;I especially like those cropped flares on you. &nbsp;And you hair looks lovely both straight and with the wave to it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-friday-and-weekend#post-1810176 Mon, 22 May 2017 11:24:13 +0000 Brooklyn 1810176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lyn. My style goal this year is to pursue a signature style, so your comment is music to my ears.</p> <p>Shevia, thanks. My hair is behaving better at the moment because humidity is lower at this time of year. So I may be able to "let" it wave a bit more often :)</p> <p>And thanks Julie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-friday-and-weekend#post-1810164 Mon, 22 May 2017 10:45:11 +0000 lyn67 1810164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fry boots are fascinating and your fall/ pants outfits are the same vibe like your summery/skirted &nbsp;ones, that is true style! YLF day to day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-friday-and-weekend#post-1810125 Mon, 22 May 2017 03:40:19 +0000 Julie 1810125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning. i like it all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-friday-and-weekend#post-1810113 Mon, 22 May 2017 02:11:03 +0000 Jaime 1810113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab all around and I always love when you let your hair wave! Thus 3 and 4 are my favorites! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-friday-and-weekend#post-1810108 Mon, 22 May 2017 01:36:43 +0000 Brooklyn 1810108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I am surprised and pleased at the amount of love outfit no 3 is getting. Makes me feel good about keeping the sweater.</p> <p>Thanks Sal, I love pale grey. Especially with white in summer. And it's a useful light neutral at other times of year too. But it does wash me out. I had way too much of it. I am trying to be more careful now.</p> <p>Thanks cobaltblue. The pink was really fun. I think it's possible my hairdresser went light on the tint because she was not sure whether I would like it. I am going to speak to her about it. Lavender with grey would be lovely. I would love to do teal. But my hair is not light enough.</p> <p>Thanks Bijou. The scarf does not match my skirt but it is quite similar to one of them. I have 4 floral skirts from Portmans now! I bought the first one about half way through last year, and it's the first thing I have bought from Portmans in years. Now I find myself wandering in there all the time to look at their floral collection. It is funny when something like that happens.</p> <p>Thank you Angie, especially for the K2K!</p> <p>Smittie, thanks, I will keep my waving to an absolute minimum. Luckily I am not a member of the royal family.</p> <p>And thank you CS, Suz, JAileen, Mirjana, Ledonna, The Cat, Dianna, jill58, Summer, kerlyn, Isabel and shedev. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-friday-and-weekend#post-1810087 Sun, 21 May 2017 23:57:09 +0000 Sal 1810087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have great dog walking style!!</p> <p>They all look great here; I think you get away with the short top in 2 because it is tonal:) &nbsp;</p> <p>I love the touches of cognac in 3, they really suit you.</p> <p>I am also trying to move away from grey, but not 100 percent succeeding. &nbsp;It is a useful neutral to have and mix with denim and black in particular. &nbsp;I also love it with pink. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-friday-and-weekend#post-1810081 Sun, 21 May 2017 23:11:50 +0000 shedev 1810081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all the outfits.

I keep changing my mind when trying to pick a favorite.</p> <p>I would not have thought to warm up the grey sweater with accessories as you did - smart! </p> <p>Sorry to see the pink go. Was it fun while it lasted? I have this fantasy of going a light lavender once my hair turns grey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-friday-and-weekend#post-1810063 Sun, 21 May 2017 20:43:24 +0000 kerlyn 1810063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these are great, Brooklyn. &nbsp;But I just love #3. &nbsp;Like Bijou said, it doesn't really read as gray. &nbsp;I love the proportions, the all neutral palette (with lots of warmth from the cognac), the lovely details in the sweater. &nbsp;Beautiful!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-friday-and-weekend#post-1810060 Sun, 21 May 2017 20:16:36 +0000 Summer 1810060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous casual outfits, Brooklyn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-friday-and-weekend#post-1810050 Sun, 21 May 2017 17:52:25 +0000 jill58 1810050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You always look great. I don't even know which is my favorite. I love the way you use florals.

Interesting to see how your pendant lightens up and adds pizzazz to the black outfits. Love the gorgeous sweater in #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-friday-and-weekend#post-1810039 Sun, 21 May 2017 17:09:56 +0000 Ledonna N. 1810039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You sure do walk your dog in style. </p> <p>I really like #2 although all are lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-friday-and-weekend#post-1810036 Sun, 21 May 2017 16:24:31 +0000 Mirjana 1810036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can only say WOW........, all are so gorgeous, I can't choice favorite, the sweater is beautiful&nbsp; and with cognac is unbelievable.I like the top in # 2 not to short suit you great. You look really wonderful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-friday-and-weekend#post-1810027 Sun, 21 May 2017 15:00:07 +0000 Angie 1810027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer all round, Brooklyn. </p> <p>#3 is my favourite. Killer to the Power of Killer. I'm glad you saved that grey top. You warmed up the grey just beautifully with the cognac and gold - perfect match and bookending with your hair.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-friday-and-weekend#post-1810023 Sun, 21 May 2017 14:46:12 +0000 Anonymous 1810023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look with the missoni top.<br /> Very cute.<br /> I don't think you need to worry about the length. As long as you're not a frequent waver, you should be ok. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-friday-and-weekend#post-1810015 Sun, 21 May 2017 14:18:23 +0000 JAileen 1810015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're so stylish when you walk Ms B. Just as you're out of shorts, we're going into them. I really like 1 and 2 also. Even though they're so dark, they have a lot of interest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-friday-and-weekend#post-1810013 Sun, 21 May 2017 13:58:35 +0000 Bijou 1810013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All so gorgeous! The light grey sweater has so much white in it, that it does not really read grey to me. I love the Portman's scarf, does this match one of your skirts? I love this touch of dark florals. It has been a cold and wet weekend here too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-friday-and-weekend#post-1810008 Sun, 21 May 2017 12:51:56 +0000 Suz 1810008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fun to see you in autumn clothes! I really love that sweater in #3 and see why you saved it. The boots and clutch help warm up the outfit enough for you and bookend your hair. Gorgeous.&nbsp; </p>
